This is a new one, to me. I actually got an economy air mail envelope in my letterbox. And inside I found a letter (fairly obviously photocopied or printed on a printer running low on red ink) that purported that some relative I've never heard of has left 8.6 million pound in a bank account in… View moreThis is a new one, to me. I actually got an economy air mail envelope in my letterbox. And inside I found a letter (fairly obviously photocopied or printed on a printer running low on red ink) that purported that some relative I've never heard of has left 8.6 million pound in a bank account in London and would I like help getting this money into a 'safe' bank account.
LOL.

But, I cannot pretend I read this missive with a big grin on my face and my wife and I got a good chuckle out of it.

In brief, First Past the Post is where voters give a tick to the candidate they support, and the one with the most ticks wins. Single Transferable Vote is where voters rank candidates in terms of preference, and the one with the most overall support wins. Which do you think is best for Whangārei - please explain your answer in the comments below.

Voting places might be open during the advance period, on election day, or both. Depending on the pandemic alert level during the voting period it might be smart to avoid crowds on voting day itself, make use of advance voting, and know about alternative voting places nearby, as well as their opening hours.
For those of us who can't get to a voting place, there will of course be alternative ways to vote, for example by telephone dictation service or postal vote, and there will be voting services provided at rest homes, managed isolation and quarantine facilities, and prisons. See here for detailed information.
